Objective To explore the effect of the application of nursing process education model under doctor-nurse cooperation in hemodialysis patients with mild cognitive impairment.Methods 65 patients received nursing process education model under doctor-nurse cooperation. After 2 months, these patients were assessed in terms of the level of knowledge about health education, autologous arteriovenous fistula self-care ability, compliance of maintenance dialysis and satisfaction.Results After the nursing process education model under doctor-nurse cooperation, the percentage of patients who became proficient at knowledge about health education was 92.31%, that of patients who showed autologous arteriovenous fistula self-care ability was 27.11±3.26, that of the patients who became compliant to maintenance dialysis was 48.22±4.67, and nursing satisfaction was 92.31%. These performances improved significantly, comparing to those before the nursing process education model under doctor-nurse cooperation. The differences between before and after the model have statistical significance (P<0.01).Conclusion The nursing process education model under doctor-nurse cooperation may improve patients' cognitive ability, self-care ability and satisfaction. It also reduces complications and helps patients to increase the quality of life.
